Swiss Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis reportedly said he asked China to participate in a summit on the war in Ukraine during a meeting Wednesday with Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
Cassis said that Wang had "taken note of the invitation" and was expecting a response in a few days.
"China has a very strong relationship with Russia, but is still willing to do its part to end this war," Cassis said at a press briefing in Beijing.
Chinese representatives missed the 2023 meeting of national security advisors in Malta, when officials from more than 55 countries discussed the Ukraine Peace Formula. However, China sent a delegation to Saudi Arabia in August for peace talks on Ukraine.
